Toyota is again with one other restricted version mannequin of its GR86 sports activities coupe celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the unique Sprinter Trueno. The 2024 Trueno Version can be restricted to only 860 items and comes bundled with a brand new Efficiency Bundle that won’t solely be optionally available on the common 2024 GR86, however made out there as a retrofit to house owners to 2022 and 2023 fashions. For individuals who prioritize security however nonetheless need to row their very own, the GR86’s energetic security system can be out there on fashions with a handbook transmission for the primary time, confirming rumors prompted by Subaru making its “Eyesight” system out there on the handbook BRZ in Japan. 

Essentially, we’re speaking about an look bundle. Primarily based on the Premium grade, it is out there in both pink or white, and aside from the brand new efficiency pack (which we’ll element under) you get the two-tone hood and facet stripes; black end on the door handles, facet mirrors and duckbill spoiler; “TRUENO Version” badging entrance and rear and distinctive, 18-Inch alloy wheels. Inside, you get pink seats upholstered in fake suede and trimmed with leather-based, plus matching pink leather-based on the shift boot and steering wheel. The shift knob wears the “Trueno Version” badge, as do the ground and trunk mats. 

The 18-Inch Wheels we talked about above are noteworthy as a result of they’re the minimal measurement required to for Toyota’s new efficiency bundle. It pairs a brand new set of Sachs dampers with Brembo calipers and Toyota says it was optimized for journey, dealing with and brake consistency. Even higher, this complete bundle can be out there to clients going again to the ’22 and ’23 mannequin years, for which the Premium mannequin with 18-inch wheels served as a stand-in for a full-blown efficiency bundle. 4-piston Brembo calipers seize 12.8-inch rotors up entrance and two-pots seize the 12.4-inch rears. The dangerous information is that the larger brakes will not match on automobiles geared up with the usual 17-inch wheels.  That is simply as nicely, since Toyota’s out there 18-inch wheels include Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4 S — a much better efficiency tire than the Michelin Primacy HP that comes with the 17s. 

And whereas it might not be an enormous precedence for many who intend to take one to the monitor, manual-transmission GR86s are actually out there with energetic security options, together with adaptive cruise management, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning and extra. That is simply Subaru’s EyeSight suite by one other identify (or no identify, technically), and since Toyota did not clarify how a few of these options will work together with a handbook transmission, we’re assuming we’ll have to attend for Subaru to supply particulars. 

The 2024 GR86 Trueno Version can be out there for order beginning this winter. Particulars on the remainder of the 2024 GR86 lineup will come nearer to its on-sale date. Keep tuned.
